Greenstreak's Ride

[greenstreak]

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k154/PaleDSM/Talon10-21-06.gif


This is my 4th DSM and the one I have owned the longest at this point. Bought the car in 2000 and swapped a few of my old left over mods onto the car right away. I modded it to it's current point between 2000 and about 03/04. I set some goals out for the car early on and once I hit those goals I called the car done and just drive it and enjoy it. It is now my daily driver again as I work on a new project.

The car uses a pretty basic setup and I tried to improve all aspects of the car evenly over the years. I have addressed braking, suspension, power, and exterior.

Quick mods list on the car;

Power
-FP Green
-2G head with 1mm oversized valves
-HKS 272 I/E Cams
-3" turboback exhaust with a Thermal muffler
-tubular FP O2 housing with a Tial 40mm wastegate bolted to it
-K$N Intake
-JM Fabrications intercooler pipes and an Apex'i Sylvia core
-IPO Propane injection kit
-Greddy Type S BOV
-Denso 660cc injectors
-Aeromotive regulator
-Walbro 255lph pump (hardwired)

Drivetrain
-ACT 2600# kit. This clutch has held up incredibly. It has close to 50k on it and still holds great.
-Exteme short shift kit
-home made shifter bushings

Brakes
-TCE Wilwood front brake setup. 12.5" rotors with Wilwood BSL6 6 piston calipers
-SS brake lines

Exterior
-Blitz low side skirts
-AutoCarisma Street Fighter front bumper
-VIS carbon fiber Invade hood
-Sparco hood pins
-35% window tint
-Kyowa KR228 18" rims wrapped in 235mm Kumho MXs

Suspension
-Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs
-KYB AGX struts
-RM Racing sway bars
-Ebay front and rear strut tower bars

Electronics/Monitoring
-DSMLink
-HKS turbo timer
-Autometer boost and EGT gauges

Misc
-JM Fabrications harness bar
-ProCar 2000 racing seats
-Momo 4pt harnesses
-rear seat delete with custom carpeted panels to keep it clean


That's about it. I set out to break 120 on pump gas, make 400 at the wheels and still remain quiet, comfortable, and squeak free. Mission accomplished. The car is dead reliable, has an ok stereo, is not overly harsh and is a pleasure to drive to work everyday.

Unfortunately my old image host crashed and I suffered a HD failure so I only have 2 pictures of my talon. Kinda sad as I had probably 50 at one point.

[mireau's gst]

+100 on every aspect of the car. Looks clean and mean.

[1QuickChic]

Very nice, very nice indead.

[french_hustler]

Nice and simple. Bodykit isn't OD and actually looks descent. Good work.

[talnteddriver29]

Mint ride Greenstreak. Everything looks great:)
Although, ill be honest with you, im not a big fan of the front bumper.:P But i dont mind the sideskirts or the hood.
But one question, now that your running low 12's...don't you ever get tempted to catch an 11 sec. timeslip (Even if its an 11.99)...jus for braggin rights :)

[GSTQUICK]

MOre info on the extreme Short Throw kit. Pics maybe?

Nah, not really. I am not a big fan of drag racing and typically only go once per year when the local DSM club goes. At one time I enjoyed it much more than I do now. I am becoming more of a autoX road racing kind of car guy over the last few years.

Hehe, not much to say about it. I never bothered to take a picture of it either. It was out before B&M had them and Extreme doesn't even make it anymore. I loved it though and it was pulled out of my FWD and put into this car while still on the dealers lot.

Oh shit we got a believer!!!
Autox owns.

[HIDDEN_SUN_GST]

Beautiful as always!

[The_EE]

This is what I expected to see.

Red flag adds +5hp and gets all the chicks

Take new pix? nice ride :)

[greenstreak]

Nice Chris! I had forgotten about the member's gallery.

I was laughing my ass off at the the other pictures. :D

[KyleGST]

Beautiful!!!

[1990 Dsm Gsx]

Mmmmmmmmmmm

Very Nice.

[belittle]

Perfect look on the body kit. Kept the godly aftermarket bodykit rear end off and kept the side skirts simple along with the front bumper.

I also really like those wheel. Fit the car perfect.

[EuroGSTSpyder]

looks ok greenstreak ;-)

If you ever sell, let me know, I might wanna take it here for another 2G dsm *lol*

[T_K]

I like the stripes, very subtle. Very tasteful car altogether.

[gota0have0boost]

Green Apple Smirnoff

[jordanrw]

very clean car, and def puts down some power

[Turboeagletalon]

lets see under the hood

gs could look like that. greenstreak i have no dough your cars fly but im sorry a true dsm'r gets off to looking at motors

[greenstreak]

Hehe, keep your eyes on the classifieds in the spring. ;)

I don't have any underhood shots anymore. Not that it matters as it looks no different than any other 4G63 under there. ;) I'm not much for underhood bling so there is nothing polished, nothing fancy, and it is not even very clean usually. It all works and that is all I ask of it. :D

[MR_4G]

a quick question. iv seen those two stripes on the car before on other cars. is there a meaning to it or is it just a cool little thing people do?
really nice ride by the way!!

[greenstreak]

Nope, they don't mean anything. I tried it out back in 95 on my first DSM and liked it. I have done it to all of them since with different colors. What is funny is that when I see my old cars around they still have the stripes. One has been through a few owners and he found me at a gas station. I forget the wording but in essence he told me I had the same stripes he had. I then told him I put them on the car about 10 years ago. :D

[Jiu Jitsu Joe]

Beautiful car, I always thought a 2g gsx is the car to go for dsm's for my own tastes. But wow this white talon is beautiful, just love the color scheme.

[JungulSouljah]

I likes. I love the white w/black scheme.

[1990 Dsm Gsx]

he told me I had the same stripes he had. I then told him I put them on the car about 10 years ago. :D

LOL WOnderful! :rudolph:

[_DeS_]

very nice... and i always thought you were an asshole lol jk

[solomontomb]

Beautiful ride!!

[TalonTsi97]

Always loved the ride erik, clean/nicely done. Im not huge fan of bodykits but your fits the car perfect. I look forward to seeing it at more meets in the future and maybe even getting a ride in it :)
I have some of the pics you had of the car, i will have to post them up when i get home.

[OSXer]

Yep, looks amazing IMO.

Any chance you have some pictures of what you did for the rear seat delete? The rest of the car is so clean, I can only imagine what it might look like. I recently ditched my back seat and want to finish it off nicely, but at still considering different ideas before I actually choose one and go with it.

Here is a few, i will have to see what else i have

[greenstreak]

I had a pic or two of the rear but they were lost as well. I am cleaning up some things after a few small projects but I will take new pic of the rear as soon as I can.

Thanks for the pics too Chip! I had lost a few of those.

[greenstreak]

I do realize that body kits are not for everyone. More so in the DSM world. I am still happy with the kit and my decision to be not stock. I can honestly say that I am still impressed by the looks of the car and it has been this way for a long time now.

[1sick91tsi]

[greenstreak]

Yep, that was me. Picking up my date just up the road. :)

Damn right she gets driven. :)

[Daywalker69]

Yep, that was me. Picking up my date just up the road. :)

I'm gonna get :chair: for this but.....

Was he talkin about the car.....or his date? LMAO :eek:

[greenstreak]

LMAO. Pervert. :P

[black_venge]

I'm gonna get :chair: for this but.....

Was he talkin about the car.....or his date? LMAO :eek:


I think he was talking about his date inside of the car. Had to take the back seat out to make more room. ;)

[misterbitchyGST]

[eagle claw]

I actually "lol'ed" a bit at that.. Really clean looking car. I really want to see some interior shots though.

[greenstreak]

I don't think I have much of anything for the interior. I guess I will have to snap one or two.
Not much to see really though. Changed a few dash panels to black, racing seats, and a harness bar.

[11secdsm]

...and a propane grill tank. :rolleyes:

[greenstreak]

Don't knock it till you try it.

[typerhead1]

I really like the white and black theme, wheels match well.
--Well Done--:cool:

[Dark-Hawk]

That is one ugly riced out piece of shit :rolleyes:.

In all seriousness though this is probably one of my favorite 2Gs, I have always been in love with white 2Gs, they just look so damn clean. The sideskirts flow extremely well with the lines of the car as well. I would say it's always been a toss up between yours and ColonelFox's old blue 2G for my favorite 2G.

[eagleone1980]

This is actually my favorite ride on the site...(next to mine:D )
So fresh and so clean clean...
A set of bronze or black volk te-37's would make this ride look sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fuckin SCHWEET!
(Though it already is:D )

[mitz19]

nice... i always wanted white but ended up getting magneta grey pearl

[K_Mans_TSI]

Does it do wheelies, mine does, just wondering if yours does too.

[SpendOne]

JUNK! hehehhehe

[95_eclipse_gs-t]

Definitly one of the nicest talons ive ever seen, why are you selling it?

[greenstreak]

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k154/PaleDSM/take3.jpg

Because I have a new love affair with the car behind it in this picture. :D In all seriousness it is to concentrate on make my Spyder road course worthy which takes money and also because I have been playing with DSMs since 96. It is time for something fresh.


The 50k mile old Green let go recently so the Talon is now rocking a 16G!!!!! Still fun to drive but it feels like someone cut off it's testicles.

[greenstreak]

JUNK! hehehhehe
That's it. Kick in the nuts next time I see you.:banana:

[gsilguero13]

Looks awesome man, love the panda. Oh and sorry bout your testicles!LOL! :banana:

[lg93awdgsxer]

That's 1 badass 2g.
I like all black myself, but yours is a close 2nd.:wall:

[Ken81590]

greenstreak, it says your occupation is truck driving, my question is, since truck drivers are on the road for days at a time, how do you manage to make all these posts?

[James92TSi]

greenstreak, it says your occupation is truck driving, my question is, since truck drivers are on the road for days at a time, how do you manage to make all these posts?Pick one:

The Greenstreak has the intraweb in his cell phone. Not just part of the intraweb, either. He has the whole damn thing. He says it comes in handy for gay porn, gay MR2 sites, and DSMtalk when he's out on the road. I guess I believe him. He is the authority on such matters.

- OR -

Infury drives the truck while The Greenstreak navigates. And by "navigates", I mean "sets the GPS, then goes back home to fart around on the computer all day." In case you were wondering, the pay is great.

- OR -

The Greenstreak is not actually a truck driver.

[pats95gst]

Greenstreak is quite the mystery man.

[kanda98]

Name your price...I was out of the DSM game for about 6 months...and I think it's time to get back in :)

LOL, at one time I was a truck driver and I guess I never changed my profile. I am not lucky enough to:

a: be close to a computer all day long at work
b: work at a DSM specific speed shop. :)

Is this too long to put in my sig? F'ing great!:banana:

There is a few little nagging details that I want to take care of before I pass the car on to a new owner. Namely some rust on the pass. side strut tower that is getting cut out and replaced with new Mitsu panels shortly. After that it will be up for grabs. If you are serious feel free to email me anytime at turbotalon69@yahoo.com so we don't bust any rules around here. :cool:

[Zex4g63]

Still fun to drive but it feels like someone cut off it's testicles.


Funny that's what Josh said about you recently:P


Tim

[Liquid-tsi]

i really like your car! that body kit flows so nice.

[turbotalon1g]

That car looks aggressive as hell, and from the mod list, seems as if it could back it up too and run aggressive.

[kanda98]

Greenstreak,

I sent you an email...:)

Whenever you get a chance, just hit me back...sorry..its just Im so anxious!!! I F#cking love your car man :P

[jordanrw]

see this car in person just about everyday, cleanest i've seen.

[moosethebelgian]

My 2nd favorite DSM after mine. I wasn't a fan of 2g's until I saw this car and then in person, I was hooked :)

[JAD3D]

I'm diggin that black strip. I Really dig it.

[jordanrw]

the yota > the dsm

[greenstreak]

Funny that's what Josh said about you recently:P

LMFAO:banana:

[greenstreak]

Lately the Yota owns both me and the DSM. Ugh.

Thanks Rach.

[Moparismylife]

Hey, nic car. Its always good to know that one of the owners taking care of my parts has a nice ride and knows what there talking about

[greenstreak]

Huh?

[EricGRIT09]

I think he means that it is nice to see that a vendor that he has bought from (taken care of his parts) has a nice, clean, taken care of car and knows what they are talking about.

[Chicago_DSM]

Glad you could clear that up for us four months later :rolleyes:
